Project Title: Operational research to increase the effectiveness of malaria surveillance and response system in Zanzibar
Project Description: This project aims at contributing to the elimination of malaria on Zanzibar by providing evidence to improve the currently implemented surveillance-response strategy. Specifically, the project will address the following overall objectives; To determine the effective coverage to the surveillance-response system in place in Zanzibar, To evaluate the surveillance-response system in Zanzibar and identify modifications to the system which could improve performance especially as regards the probability of infection detection, To estimate the cost-effectiveness of the...
